In his home, Chen Anlin immediately examined the spoils from his recent battle. After defeating Ye Hao, he had taken everything from him. To his surprise, he discovered a palm-sized, somewhat antiquated storage pouch.
Inside the pouch, aside from some miscellaneous items and provisions, there was also an ancient piece of jade. With his current level of perception, he quickly recognized that this jade was a jade slip, specifically designed to store cultivation techniques and various pieces of information.
As he probed with his spiritual energy, a message appeared before him:
【Ancient Wood Nurturing Technique.】
This turned out to be a method for cultivating wood-based energy. Chen Anlin felt a surge of excitement; he finally had a cultivation technique at his disposal. However, his expression soon darkened. Both the Empress and the White Jade Fairy had mentioned that in order to cultivate, one needed not only a breathing technique but also an immortal seed.
He had no idea what an immortal seed was, which meant that having this breathing technique might not be very useful after all. Along with the technique, he also found some pills that could replenish spiritual energy. These pills were likely something even the Empress would not possess. Unfortunately, there were no formulas for them.
Finally, Chen Anlin looked at the jade ruyi in his hand and thought, The Empress will surely be pleased with this item. A smile crept across his face. The jade ruyi served the same function as the Spirit Storage Pearl, so there was no need to keep it; he decided to give it to the Empress.
At that moment, a knock echoed from outside the door.
Chen Anlin felt a stir in his heart; it was actually Su Bingyu who had come over. Recently, Su Menghan had been visiting often, but these past few days, she had been busy at the academy, in a critical period of her training. He hadn’t expected Su Bingyu to show up.
Since the last time Ye Hao had escaped, he hadn’t seen much of Su Bingyu. Now that she was here, he opened the door and looked at her pitiful appearance, which stirred something within him. There was an obvious hint of charm in Su Bingyu's eyes.
Hmm? Miss Bingyu, you smell wonderful. Chen Anlin stepped aside and said, "Please come in."
"Thank you," she replied softly.
Su Bingyu was dressed quite lightly. Once inside, she took a step forward and stood close to Chen Anlin. The distance between them was minimal, and Chen Anlin instinctively wrapped his arms around her. "What brings you here so late?"
"I heard that Ye Hao has met his end," she said shyly. "I came specifically to thank you, Chen Zi."
"And how do you wish to thank me?" Chen Anlin asked deliberately.
Su Bingyu lowered her head in embarrassment. "Actually, I have something else to report regarding Ye Hao. After some clutter was cleared from where he used to stay, we found an underground entrance there where he had stored some items."
"Oh? What kind of items?"
"I brought one with me, but I can't make sense of it," she said as she handed him a piece of paper that looked like human skin.
Chen Anlin took it and was immediately stunned upon seeing it.
【Spirit Gathering Pill Recipe!】
This was precisely the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Pill he had discovered earlier in the storage bag—a pill used to replenish spiritual energy. He had wondered why Ye Hao had over ten Spirit Gathering Pills; logically, there should have been a recipe as well.
It seemed that Ye Hao had deliberately kept the recipe in another place, perhaps out of concern for putting all his eggs in one basket. However, he never anticipated that Su Bingyu would find it and even bring the recipe to him.
He glanced at Su Bingyu's head and thought, wow, her fortune is even higher than Su Menghan's. Could it be that after Ye Hao's death, his luck transferred to her?
Chen Anlin felt amused. No matter what, the better Su Bingyu's fortune, the more beneficial it would be for him. After all, she seemed to understand things better than Su Menghan.
He noticed that aside from her undergarment, Su Bingyu had nothing else on. A girl who understands so much is rare these days; she’s practically more knowledgeable than a female broadcaster.
This pill formula is quite good and indeed useful for me. Chen Anlin gently stroked Su Bingyu's smooth hair and casually let her sit on his lap.
As long as it’s useful for me, that’s all that matters.
Su Bingyu blinked her big eyes and said softly, feeling very happy. She knew she could help Chen Anlin, and it turned out to be true.
Although she didn’t know exactly what this item was, it must be special if Ye Hao treasured it so much. This was her way of pledging loyalty to Chen Anlin.
From now on, he would surely pay more attention to her.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Chen Anlin pulled Su Bingyu into his embrace.
“Speak up, what reward do you want?”
“I don’t dare to ask for anything; I just hope to stay by your side,” Su Bingyu replied gently.
“That won’t do; I must reward you properly.” With a wave of his hand, Chen Anlin carried her over to the bed.
